The University of Montana ski team has nine entrants in a men's downhill ski event. The coach would like the first, second, and third places to go to the team members. In how many ways can the nine team entrants achieve first, second, and third places

504 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The first position can go in 9 ways

The second position can go to the team in 8 ways

The third position can go to the team in 7 ways

Therefore, the first,second and third position can go to the team in:

9 X 8 X 7=504 ways

or Simply, we can use Permutation.

ways

equal to

step-by-step explanation:

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
